Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Battle Match is an evolving wargaming platform that will continue to grow and develop over time. We believe there's no reason to wait—so as soon as the game reaches a playable state, we want to share it, even with a minimal feature set. Early Access also gives us a chance to collaborate with players, involving the community to help shape and improve the game together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access until the end of 2025.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our goals for the full release include the following features:
- Improved simulation mechanics capable of modeling a wide variety of weapon systems.
- Seamless Steam Workshop integration for sharing and accessing mods.
- Support for clans and organized competitions.
- Additional features expected of any serious game, such as a tutorial and achievements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Entering EA, the game supports all features of Samurai Wars:
- Unit types: Ashigaru, Samurai, Cavalry
- Weapon types: Yari, Katana, Naginata, Bows, Matchlocks, Guns
- Sandbox mode
- Online battles”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The sandbox mode will always remain free to access. If you purchase a Premium Pass during the Early Access period, you will get immediate access to all premium features, but your usage will not start counting until the game leaves Early Access. The pricing will remain the same both during and after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“General feedback and suggestions are welcome through any of the official forums.”

About This Game

Battle Match is a tactical battle simulator where you command vast armies in epic, large-scale conflicts. Take control of thousands of soldiers and experience the chaos and strategy of real-time warfare.

At the core of Battle Match is a cutting-edge real-time simulation engine. It intricately models physical aspects like ballistics, armor resistance, terrain effects (such as elevation, vegetation, and line-of-sight), and soldier fatigue. Key psychological elements like morale, experience, and leadership are also simulated to give you an authentic battlefield experience. Every soldier is individually modeled, but you effortlessly command them in units of tens or hundreds, allowing for both micromanagement and grand strategy.

Use the sandbox mode to test your strategies or to experiment and learn about the battle mechanics. Challenge your friends in thrilling online matchups through our robust matchmaking system. Host massive multiplayer battles with several players on each team, or climb the ranks on a competitive leaderboard to prove your tactical prowess.

Battle Match will release several themed modules, each covering different historical periods.
First up: a modern remake of the acclaimed mobile game Samurai Wars.

Samurai Wars is set in Japan’s Sengoku Jidai, the age of the samurai. Be a samurai warlord and command your troops on the battlefield, using tactical skill to defeat the enemy army.
